Harv refs checking tool

my apologies for failing to spot that you were working on the article at that moment. All is fine now.

just fyi, if you install the tool, you will see multiple "errors" for Jaffé and similar names. Reason is a bug in the tool's recognition of diacritics. The referencing itself works fine. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although I'm from England, my Polish background always makes me want to include the diacritics in words. When I was a software engineer and database designer then I would use Unicode as much as possible. It's standard nowadays but Britain and the USA behave as though diacritics are unimportant or optional. They're not. They are different letter of the alphabet. What's the tool you mentioned? Egrabczewski (talk) 12:36, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is described at Category:Harv and Sfn template errors#Displaying error messages: the one I use is User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js.

Another tool that is well worth having is WP:UCB. This one checks conventional 'ref tag' citations too, for inconsistencies and errors. So I try to remember to use it whenever I do a significant edit. [I find the ✓ Citations button to be a bit unreliable but the Expand citation option (that it adds to the "actions available" column) always works.] 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:05, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Yorkshire United Independent College.

I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:43, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mariamnei: Thank you for reviewing the article. It's practially a straight copy of the Dutch version of this article, with the same references. I added a couple more to what were already there - for the benefit of the English reader.

As for adding an in-line citatation at the end of every sentence - is this a new rule in Wikipedia? There are plenty of articles that cite at the end of paragraphs but not necessarily at the end of each sentence. That seems a bit restrictive. What if two or more sentences are covered by the same reference? Egrabczewski (talk) 14:12, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
